Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free

Rev V.G.Asirvatham in the Arunodayam

Among some old books, I found the June-1966 issue of the Arunodayam, a Tamil Lutheran publication.

For many decades my paternal grandfather Rev S. Gnanamanickam was the editor of this magazine, although he was not the editor in 1966. But I can see why this issue has been preserved all these years. This is because of a one-page article about my maternal grandfather, Rev V.G.Asirvatham.
